The Project
Laboratories are vital to healthcare systems, directly impacting the quality of health services and enabling prompt, accurate decision-making. They are essential for disease surveillance and outbreak response. Nigeria faces challenges of inequitable access to quality diagnostics, limiting timely diagnosis and increasing healthcare costs.
The Medical Laboratory Services Division (MLSD) of the Federal Ministry of Health coordinates laboratory services and implements policies to strengthen Nigeria’s laboratory system.
The National Medical Laboratory Services Policy (NMLSP) addresses management challenges by establishing organizational structures in federal and state health ministries. Nigeria’s healthcare system operates across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, with laboratory support often fragmented and poorly coordinated across disease programs.
Supported by the Global Fund, MLSD has made strides in strengthening laboratory systems, but issues remain in governance, coordination, funding, infrastructure, and quality control. To address these, MLSD is implementing a Diagnostic Network Optimization (DNO) initiative under the Global Fund GC7 grant.
A Service Provider is needed to offer technical assistance to FMOH-MLSD for integrating laboratory systems across disease programs and achieving DNO goals.
